《二十四诗品》伪书说再证——兼答祖保泉、张少康、王步高三教授之质疑

More Discussion on the Bogus Book Titled Twenty-Four Varieties of Poetic Experience——With Concurrent Answers to the Queries of Professor Zu Baoquan and Others?

我与汪涌豪教授1994年提出《二十四诗品》伪书说,至今已经十多年。学者补充了许多新的证据,也提出了一些质疑,后者尤以祖保泉、张少康、王步高三教授之论述为详,然而其"(伪书说)主要证据已被否定"之论,并无有力证据支持。本文详尽罗列三家的主要依据,并就张少康《关于〈二十四诗品〉真伪问题的争论》所陈八条观点,逐一申述我见,认为"八条"都不能成立。又对苏轼"二十四韵"一段话作了进一步的诠释,并罗列宋元人对苏轼这段话的申述,以明苏轼语与司空图无涉。此外,对《二十四诗品》里唐以后的痕迹作了考释,并对唐宋文献的传布规则,从学理上作了适当的说明。本文结论是:从目前来看,《二十四诗品》的问世时间,还没有突破十四世纪初(即西元1300年)的上限。

In 1994,Professor Wang Yonghao and I stated an argument： Twenty-Four Varieties of Poetic Experience is a bogus book.Since that,more than ten years have passed.A lot of new evidence about this bogus book is added.But at the same time,there are some queries put forward,which are chiefly represented by the related statements of such three professors as Zu Baoquan,Zhang Shaokang and Wang Bugao.Even these three professors propose that the main evidence that helps to establish the bogus book is knocked down.This essay,in detail,enumerates the main arguments of these three professors,and refutes point by point the eight statements in Zhang Shaokang＇ s ＂Arguments on the Truth and Falseness of Twenty-Four Varieties of Poetic Experience＂.All these statements by him are considered as being untenable.In addition,this essay makes a further interpretation of Su Shi＇ s words about the ＂twenty-four rhymes＂,and,by virtue of the statements from some persons in the Song and Yuan dynasties,points out that those words have nothing with Sikong Tu.And also this essay makes a textual research for the historical traces of Twenty-Four Varieties of Poetic Experience since the Tang Dynasty,and,academically,gives a proper explanation of literature spreading in the Tang and Song dynasties.It concludes that,up to now,as far as existing evidence is concerned,the publishing date of Twenty-Four Varieties of Poetic Experience has not gone beyond the limit of the beginning of the 14th century（1300 A.D.）.
